The Extras
The Guastavino Construction Company designed this laminated tile to create a vaulted effect in wide arches. For another example, visit Guastavino's--the restaurant wedged under the Queensboro Bridge.
When to Go
The restaurant becomes much more sedate in the evenings--a good time to go for more attentive, less rushed service.

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. We would recommend getting a gin martini, dirty, with a dozen oysters on the half shell.
The Whispering Gallery, just outside the Oyster Bar door, invites lovers to whisper their secrets from one corner of the vaulted ceiling to the other. You must try it.
